On my previous post, Bots - We Need More Bid Bots Or Up Vote Bots, there are comments that are against the bots as expected.
On this post we will cover that and discuss the reasons why they despise it so much or hate it with a passion.
So why others don’t like the bots so much.
The bots are taking over the world, the steemit world that is.
Some steemians are concerned that bots will take over the steemit world. We are already using bots to curate, some with auto comments and pretty soon someone will create a bot that will write and post an article.
Streemians already have that auto post where you can schedule your article to be posted in steemit at a later time.
Next thing you know there will be a bot writing its own article and posting it on steemit on your behalf.
Its sounds absurd but that is what some of the steemians are concerned about. The more bots in steemit world the less humans do interact. The “social” part of steemit will be gone and will just be solely on profit.
BOTS ARE PARASITES
Some members of the steemit community liken the bots as parasites.
bots are like bacteria.
they are parasites.
they suck the life out of their host until it dies.
'Life' on steemit is social interaction. The less people interacting in proportion to the bots, the less real life there is on steemit.
UP-VOTE BOTS AND BID BOTS DON’T THINK… BLEEP BLEEP BLEEEP DUH

Some steemians are concerned that people with crap quality article will use this bots to get their article in trending or hot pages which makes a lot harder for other members who do good quality contents to be noticed.
There is a point in that because I can just create a single line of post and I can make it to trending by using bots to vote for my post.
Some of the bot creators are trying to prevent that so hopefully they have managed to figure out how to prevent that from happening.
BOT GAVE ME 200% --- I DON’T DESERVE IT

I've got it at close to or over 2x. It's free money. I just don't think that I or anyone should be able to get free money out of the system for doing nothing.
Some members of the steemit community is so humble that they feel guilty receiving more than what they put in on the bots. They only put money on the bid bot to get exposure on their post but don’t really want that big return from it.
I don’t think that will be the case these days. More and more people are using the bots making it so unprofitable and sometimes at a lose. This is the case of the bid bots, people keep biding even if the value of the bids are already bigger that the value of votes the bot can give resulting in loses to the bidders.
Randowhale only accepts 1 – 2 SBD making it not prone to abuse because of the limit.
Minnowbooster are keeping an eye on the posts that their bots are up-voting. They also have TOS to warn abusers.
OH NO THE REWARD POOL!!

Some steemians are so concerned about the reward pool getting drained because of these bots. People are buying votes and not just tiny votes, big votes and they are concerned that all of that are going to empty out the reward pool.
Maybe someone out there knows how to view how much is going into the reward pool and how much is coming out from the reward pool.
YOU MAKE MONEY FROM LEASING TO BOTS. YOU SCAM.

One concerned steemian went even further of saying these huge whale who are making big dollars from leasing to the bots. They make about 500 SBD a day, for just leasing their SP.
I made this last because I really have to think so hard about this and the head start to hurt. I am not sure how to respond to this.
It not just the bots i am concerned about it is also the short term leases of Steem.
1.These guys do not care who their customer are. I know of one group here which is just an outright scam and it is receives quite large payouts.
They make a massive Return on on ivestment
This makes it a very attractive investment opportunity and will draw in more predatory investors.
This will ultimately lead to steem being accumulated by very few making even more difficult for minnows to get votes without using parasitic investors.
This in turn will make the parasites even more powerful and wealthy
If that is not understandable it is because you do not WANT to understand the implications
Are we going to say, don’t invest at all in steemit platform and if you do invest big keep it in your wallet.
If we do say that then we will never get investors to the platform. All investors are only concern about how to make their return as profitable as possible.
